Home-made cakes thread 2

Hiya Gloria you can get a card board if that makes sense the same size as the base of your second tier. It's stiffened card with a food safe coating and costs pennies, that will sit on top of the dowels:) HTH

have read this whole thread over the last 2 days and have got some great ideas.

i am only a beginer and have mostly just made fairy cakes and muffins so far. have borrowed a giant cupcake mould off a friend to try out this weekend but i dont have the tools to pipe yet so usually just spread my butter cream icing with a spatula.

was looking at nozzles and bags but the bags are all huge..can you get smaller ones?

will deffo come back regular to look at all your amazing cakes

Wow!
What fab cakes! i made a few (78) for my husbands birthday get together, got lovely comments, and one order! Wasn't thinking of doing this for earnings, but well, that is definitely now a plan.
So, I have had a look at a website to get my food hygiene certificate online, what else would you ladies recommend I get to be legal?
Thanks in advance.
Feel free to pm me.

Well icemice I love it. It looks fab there are loads of cushions etc about using a similar flag design. Don't be so hard on yourself:) Are you addicted now? How have you got the Olympic rings so neat? X

Thanks Nanamia - I used two glasses to cut the rings and printed off a pic to make sure I cut the bits out in the right places. I let them dry a bit before I put them on the cake to try and stop the colour running as I knew I had just one chance at getting them on without staining the white. Apparently, it made it to London intact and some went to the opening ceremony - the closest link that I have to being there myself! Lol! :rotfl:

Hiya Nat where've you been I've missed you. Even tempted to pm you c if everything was ok!
Welcome newbies mummyroysof3 think I recognise you from the flylady posts:Finefoot I can't help with your query I only bake as a hobby for family and friends. Pop some pics of your creations on we love to share:)
Icemice how cool. Not many of us will be able to say our cakes made it to the Olympics well done you:)
Bindi what can I say. Always such yummy looking cakes. How on earth did you do the decks? They look so real.
Cake for my Grandaughters christening yesterday. Nothing too holy (DD instructions) and she's 19 months so not babyish either!
